�A Calligraphies for golden rules
The writing from the heart will give you body-mind harmonization 
that helps you open your mind's eye and brush up on your rusty brain 
and then you can find yourself trusting yourself again truly.



→Do for others what you want them to do for you.(M7)

→The more grateful, the more graceful; the more ignorant, the more arrogant.

→Judge not, lest you be judged. For you will be judged by the standards you 
 yourself shall apply.

→God speed you! Open your mind and keep your eye on it and do not lose and
 drop it.

→The greatest gift a man can give is to lay down his life for his friends. 
 When I am gone, you will be grieved. But your grief will turn into joy. 


→But for her/him, my life would have been worth nothing.
